This paneer curry can be made in a jiffy, so saves a lot of time during busy mornings. I have added some bell peppers for color and crunch. You can add bell peppers, peas, sweet corn as variations.You can also vary the flavor by varying the seasonings. You can even make this paneer curry with pre boiled potatoes. Here I have not boiled the potatoes first. Just used them as such.

You can make aloo paneer gravy by some small changes to the recipe. To make tomato based gravy just puree 2-3 ripe tomatoes with some cashews and add after sauteing potatoes.  For dairy free version use tofu cibes instead of paneer.

You can serve aloo paneer curry with poori, jeera rice, roti or even naan.
